Our Department

The University of Kansas Medical Center began its Diagnostic Radiology Residency Program in 1967 with three residents serving three-year residencies. The Program is now twenty-eight residents strong with many of our residents returning to KUMC as clinical educators.

The University of Kansas Health System serves the entire state and the greater Kansas City area. The University of Kansas Hospital is a 910-bed tertiary care facility with just over 27,380 patient admissions last year, and 298,920 outpatient encounters in the hospital.

The Radiology Department is well equipped and performed 396,885 diagnostic studies in fiscal 2018. The department was an early adopter of PACS and is essentially film-less with a GE Centricity PACS system. We operate Powerscribe Voice Recognition System.
